C643 Confusing the Mind!
"But... I never thought that Old Cheng would suddenly faint and fall to the ground not long after drinking that pot of tea. He never woke up again!"
Old Lady Mo's voice was choked with sobs, and she was sobbing so hard that she could not speak.
Mo Shihan's eyes were cold: "So, Elder Chung died because he drank tea?"
Old Lady Mo nodded and signaled to the butler.
The butler immediately got a middle-aged woman dressed like a maid to come up.
"Tell me! What did you put in that pot of tea?" The butler asked sternly.
The maid was in a sorry state, and her face was covered in bruises.
Obviously, she had been interrogated before.
"I... I really didn't know. I made this pot of tea according to the instructions of the old lady. It has nothing to do with me..." The maid was trembling with fear.
Old Lady Mo stopped crying, and her face immediately darkened.
"What you mean is that I killed Elder Cheng?"
"No... No, Old Lady Mo, that's not what I meant. I just want to say... I... I really didn't poison Elder Chung. I don't know why Elder Chung suddenly passed away, I... I'm innocent, please spare me..." The maid had never seen Old Lady Mo like this before, so she panicked a little.
After all, Old Lady Mo had always been very kind.
She was especially tolerant to these servants, especially to them.
Why was it today...
"Spare you?"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Old Lady Mo's old face, "Then who will spare Elder Cheng?"
She had never liked to make things difficult for the servants.
She felt that it was not easy for them to live on others.
But this did not mean that she would let others ride on her neck!
"Butler, since she doesn't want to say, then drag her down and beat her to death on the spot!" Old Lady Mo ordered coldly.
If the servant wanted Elder Cheng's life, then she would take the servant's life.
One life was worth one life, this was very fair!
"Yes."
The butler received the order from the old lady and did not dare to delay at all. He dragged the servant and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
A clear voice suddenly sounded.
It was Lu Qi.
Old Lady Mo was startled.
"Qi, don't you support me in avenging your grandfather?"
Lu Qi: "Of course I want to take revenge, but the prerequisite is to find out the truth of the matter."0
"The truth? What truth? This tea was made by the servant and she brought it up. The one who caused Elder Cheng's death was also her!"
"That may not be the case."
After Lu Qi finished speaking, she picked up the remaining half cup of tea left by Elder Chung and gently smelled it.
Her delicate eyebrows immediately wrinkled into two deep ravines.
"It's him?"
Seeing Lu Qi like this, Mo Shihan immediately became vigilant.
"You know who it is?"
"Fire Fox, the big demon that appeared in Jindu City before."
"Is it the one that was released by Lu Shengsheng and then destroyed by us?"
Lu Qi nodded slightly.
"Although that big demon was released by Lu Shengsheng, it only listened to Lu Zhirou. Just now, I smelled the smell of the inner core of that big demon in the tea. I think that before it separated from Lu Zhirou, it had already given her its inner core to help her avoid our investigation."
It had to be said that Lu Qi's analysis was very reasonable.
Ever since Lu Zhirou disappeared, they sent many people to look for her.
Almost, they had to flip the entire empire over.
But in the end, they found nothing.
Lu Qi could not figure out the reason behind this. Only now did she understand that Lu Zhirou relied on the inner core of Fire Fox.
Foxes were the best at confusing people's minds.
It was easy to trick a few of their subordinates and mislead them in their investigation!
"So, Lu Zhirou might have come to Jiangcheng as well?" Mo Shihan asked.
Lu Qi: "No, it's definitely possible!"
The two of them looked at each other.
The seriousness in their hearts was even more than before.
